20100319059 | SIP DIGEST AUTHENTICATION HANDLE CREDENTIAL MANAGEMENT - Methods, devices, and systems for controlling access to a password protected resource are provided. More specifically, different communication profiles can be mapped to a single user and that user can utilize a single password to gain access to the password protected resource using any one of his/her communication profiles. Each communication profile may have a unique authentication value associated therewith, but each unique authentication value may be determined based on the single password, thereby eliminating the need for a user to remember multiple passwords for each of his/her communication profiles. | 12-16-2010 |
20110066694 | SIP ENDPOINT ENHANCER - Methods, devices, and systems are provided for enhancing the functionality of a communication device, such as a communication endpoint. This provides the ability to enhance less intelligent SIP endpoints with required features to support a richer user experience. Furthermore, the endpoint enhancer may be dynamically pluggable onto an existing network device. This provided pluggability allows a network administrator to add a new SEE template to the network without disrupting the network operation or the operation of previously existing SEEs. | 03-17-2011 |
20110066707 | NETWORK FRAMEWORK ASSOCIATING NON-ENTERPRISE PHONE WITH ENTERPRISE USERS - Methods, devices, and systems are provided for identifying unique points in communication processing for substituting and restoring identities associated with the communication. These specific replacements facilitate communication requests to-and-from external identities to be treated similar to communication requests to-and-from enterprise users, thereby allowing enterprise users to access enterprise-based communication preferences and services via non-enterprise devices. | 03-17-2011 |
20110110362 | QUANTUM AND PROMISCUOUS USER AGENTS - A call processing system includes a call processing server. The call processing server processes calls for an internal network that employs SIP features and functions. The call processing server can receive calls from or send calls to one or more external communication endpoints that are not part of the internal network. However, the call processing server can associate a floating user agent with the communication from the external communication endpoint and lock the floating user agent to a gateway. After locking onto a gateway and initiating the call, the floating user agent can then publish call event status and receive SIP primitives similar to other SIP-enabled devices. | 05-12-2011 |
20110122863 | ENHANCED CALL PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES FOR SIP-BASED COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Methods, devices, and systems are provided for preserving connections, especially in a SIP environment. More specifically, the connection preservation techniques presented in this document enhance the RFC 4028-based session refresh approach in order to provide media connection preservation for calls that experience end-to-end signaling loss or refresh failures. Specifically, participants on a call can continue to exchange media despite the loss of control at the SIP signaling plane. | 05-26-2011 |
20110289203 | SIP MONITORING AND CONTROL ANCHOR POINTS - The concept of anchor points is introduced. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be shared by any application. The use of an anchor point allows for applications to become aware of and control a communication late or cease monitoring and controlling a communication session early without disrupting the session or introducing a significant amount of control or media delay. | 11-24-2011 |
20110289219 | SIP ANCHOR POINTS TO POPULATE COMMON COMMUNICATION LOGS - The concept of a centralized communication log is provided. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be leveraged by a communication log service. Such a communication log service is able to determine accurate and real-time communicant information for a communication session and populate a centralized communication log with the same. Such a communication log is, therefore, accurate with respect to multiple users in a system, highly available, and scaled horizontally. | 11-24-2011 |
20120163571 | HIGHLY SCALABLE AND DISTRIBUTED CALL/MEDIA MODELING AND CONTROL FRAMEWORK - A highly scalable and distributed call/media modeling and control framework is described. In particular, a plurality of anchor point servers are provided which enable one or more applications to exert call and media control over in-progress communication sessions even though the applications were not originally bound to the communication session during its setup. | 06-28-2012 |
20130156026 | QUANTUM AND PROMISCUOUS USER AGENTS - A call processing system includes a call processing server. The call processing server processes calls for an internal network that employs SIP features and functions. The call processing server can receive calls from or send calls to one or more external communication endpoints that are not part of the internal network. However, the call processing server can associate a floating user agent with the communication from the external communication endpoint and lock the floating user agent to a gateway. After locking onto a gateway and initiating the call, the floating user agent can then publish call event status and receive SIP primitives similar to other SIP-enabled devices. | 06-20-2013 |
